Dr. Strangelove	comment	Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a 1964 Black Comedy film directed by Stanley Kubrick. The plot is largely taken from the 1958 novel Red Alert by Peter George, who co-wrote the film's screenplay with Kubrick and Terry Southern. (The same plot, played straight, is used in Fail Safe, which coincidentally enough was another Columbia Pictures release from the same year.)One day during the Cold War, U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) goes a little funny in the head and does a silly thing: he orders all the B-52 bombers under his command to carry out a surprise nuclear first strike against the Soviet Union, then puts his entire air base into lockdown, ordering all outside communications cut; all radios confiscated (so that Communist infiltrators can't receive outside commands); and all troops to immediately fire upon anyone who tries to enter the base, even if they appear to be fellow Americans (because they will surely be those wily Communists in disguise). Ripper's aide, British Group Captain Lionel Mandrake (Peter Sellers), tries to talk sense into him but soon realizes that the general has gone right out of his pointy little head, believing that only he stands in the way of a Communist plot to contaminate Americans' "precious bodily fluids" via fluoridated water.At the Pentagon, U.S. President Merkin Muffley (also Peter Sellers) holds an emergency meeting in the War Room with his top advisors. While the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, General Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott), views the crisis as an opportunity to hit the Russkies where they live once and for all, the President's wheelchair-bound, ex-Nazi science advisor, Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers again), and the Soviet ambassador (Peter Bull) both warn Muffley that any attack on the USSR will trigger the Doomsday Machine: a computer programmed to detonate buried cobalt bombs that will kill nearly all life on Earth's surface with their radiation over the course of months if the Soviet Union is attacked (or if any attempt is made to disable the Doomsday Machine). So the President gets on the hotline and desperately attempts to convince the drunken Soviet premier that the imminent attack is merely a silly mistake while the military tries to call the bombers back.The film was supposed to be released in November of 1963, but was held back until January of 1964 to distance it from the JFK assassination. Also in the cast are Slim Pickens as Major T. J. "King" Kong, who commands one of the bomber crews; Keenan Wynn as Colonel Bat Guano, who heads the Army unit ordered by Muffley to attack Ripper's base; and James Earl Jones (making his screen debut) as Lieutenant Lothar Zogg, the bombardier for Kong's crew.In 2023 it was announced that this film would be adapted into stage for London West End by Armando Iannucci, set to open in Autumn 2024, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of the film.Not to be confused with Doctor Strange, or with '60s MLB player Dick "Dr. Strangeglove" Stuart.note Whose nickname was nonetheless an obvious Shout-Out to this film.

In Real Life, he would be unlikely to hit anything at medium-to-long range and would probably burn his hand off in the process.

Dr. Strangelove / int_1282bf4f	type	No Celebrities Were Harmed
Dr. Strangelove / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: President Muffley has some similarities to Adlai Stevenson II, who lost two presidential elections to Dwight D. Eisenhower, whom John F. Kennedy named to be America's ambassador to the United Nations, and who was at the time considered thoroughly decent but also rather wimpy. Reportedly, Stevenson found the similarities Actually Pretty Funny. No, scrub that — Adlai found it absolutely freaking hilarious! Gens. Ripper and Turgidson could both be seen as caricaturing different aspects of real-life USAF General Curtis LeMay. Ripper also draws inspiration from Army General Edwin Walker, who distributed John Birch Society literature to his troops and became a right-wing demagogue after resigning. Strangelove himself has aspects of several real-life nuclear scientists, but his obvious (if never stated) Nazi past specifically evokes Wernher von Braun. Arthur C. Clarke, who knew both Stanley Kubrick and Wernher von Braun, reported that Kubrick once asked him to "tell Wernher I wasn't getting at him." Clarke adds, "I never did because, firstly, I didn't believe him, and secondly, even if Stanley wasn't, Peter Sellers certainly was." Other scientists upon whom the Strangelove character was based were Herman Kahn (who originated the idea of the "Doomsday Device" in his book On Thermonuclear War), Edward Teller and John von Neumann. While many assume Henry Kissinger was an inspiration, Kubrick and Sellers both denied it, and Kissinger's background (he was neither a rocket scientist nor an ex-Nazi) wouldn't fit the character anyway.note Kissinger did however inspire the similar character of Dr. Groetschle in Fail Safe, who fits Kissinger's background and personality to a T. Just after Kubrick died, at least one person who investigated Strangelove's conception suggested that Kissinger might have modeled his public persona once he became famous partly after the character.

Dr. Strangelove / int_13d7a65e	comment	The Artifact: A pastry table seen in one scene refers to the original ending, a colossal pie fight, which was deleted from the film's final cut for being too farcical. The fact that a joke was made about the President being "struck down in his prime" by one of the pies didn't help its cause since the JFK assassination had just taken placenote Another "artifact", though only visible if you know to look for it, is when Major Kong notes of the emergency pack in the plane, "A fellow could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff"; if you watch his lips, he's actually saying "Dallas", not "Vegas". The line was re-recorded and dubbed over the scene after JFK was killed in Dallas.

Dr. Strangelove / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The opening scene, of a B-52 re-fueling in mid-air (which really looks like two planes screwing), set to an instrumental version of "Try A Little Tenderness," no less. Interestingly, it was taken from stock footage that title sequence designer Pablo Ferro simply discovered and made one of cinema's most memorable opening scenes. A more subtle form of symbolism: chewing gum represents the upcoming war. Mandrake forlornly fidgets with a stick of chewing gum while sitting on Ripper's couch, while Turgidson gobbles down stick after stick of gum with aplomb.

Dr. Strangelove / int_1994ba0b	type	Gone Horribly Right
Dr. Strangelove / int_1994ba0b	comment	Gone Horribly Right: Kubrickâ€™s primary aim in making this movie was to satirize nuclear deterrence theory by demonstrating the inherent craziness of consciously abdicating control over nuclear weapons. Plan R is established to ensure the US has second strike capability even if the President and executive branch are eliminated in a nuclear strike. General Ripper takes this to its extreme conclusion by deciding the President should be denied nuclear authority altogether, and that the military (i.e., General Ripper) should decide when to start a nuclear war. From there, Plan R works perfectly, as the pilots shut off all communication with the US and focus on their targets in the Soviet Union. Likewise, the Doomsday Machine works exactly as planned: automatic and irrevocable nuclear retaliation against the United States following an initial nuclear attack. Within the context of the film, employing Strangelove for his scientific acumen leads to the downfall of American democracy.

Dr. Strangelove / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: Mandrake has problems reaching the president to recall the bombers, and he finds a payphone, but doesn't have enough pocket change and has a brief issue with British vs American terms. Finally, one of the bombers cannot be recalled via the Override Command because its communication system has been destroyed. Armageddon ensues. Of course, the Soviets didn't tell the world about their Doomsday Device because their premier "loves surprises" and they were planning on revealing it as a surprise soon. It's even enforced by Big Bad General Ripper, whose first action in launching his nuclear attack on Russia is ordering his staff to hand over all their radios (so they won't know he's lying and that the Russians aren't actually attacking). Interestingly, while the Pentagon stated that pretty much the entire scenario depicted was absurd and could never happen (which has since been debunked by academics, see The Other Wiki for details), they did decide that the pay phone scene raised some important questions about whether information could be gotten to the right people fast enough in an emergency.

As Strangelove once again points out: As it turns out, they were planning on revealing the information to the world the following Monday, rendering it a complete liability in the interim. Muffley was assured by Turgidson that "Plan R" had safeguards against a rogue launch. Turgidson is reluctant to admit the failure and argues its reliability shouldn't be written off after a single incident.

A few minutes later, Strangelove casually suggests the mine shaft survival plan and a new system of government, including who lives and who dies. For all intents and purposes, he takes over the US government right then and there, in front of its actual leaders, who are oblivious. Nobody said the Only Sane Man has to be a good person.

This triggers the Russians' Doomsday Machine, which will render the Earth's surface uninhabitable for nearly a hundred years and force what's left of mankind to live underground until then. The final scene is a montage of nuclear detonations accompanied by the song "We'll Meet Again", implying that even long after we're all dead, whoever comes next will still be finding disgustingly stupid and petty reasons to kill each other.

The collection of Attack Plans kept in a safe aboard each B-52 provides instruction for every possible scenario that could be played out in a nuclear exchange. Truth in Television. General Ripper, (emphasis on crazy) commander of an Air Force base, casually carries a machine gun in his golf bag, handy for additional holes.

For each scene he told Scott to go completely over the top in the first few takes, before playing it straight in the later ones, promising to not use the earlier, wilder ones. (He lied.) Kubrick wanted Turgidson to be a completely silly, ridiculous character, and Scott wasn't comfortable playing the role that way, taking himself a little too seriously and putting his pride over the needs of the film and the wishes of its director. ...Kubrick gets what Kubrick wants.

They try to avert the catastrophe, yet each side is just as scheming or conniving or manipulative as the other, constantly harping on about various "gaps" (missile, doomsday, mineshaft, etc.), and even after causing The End of the World as We Know It, they just can't take a step back, look at themselves, and wonder how much of this is their own fault.

Notably, Scott was very upset at which takes were used, as he had been assured that his "serious" takes would be the ones used, vowing to never work with Kubrick again, although he also admitted that he had to admire Kubrick's ingenuity and sheer audacity in playing that trick on him.

He wasn't 'putting on' an accent or character, that's just literally who he is. Slim's accent wasn't even Texan, but rather "California Okie," an odd blend that occurred when Dust Bowlers relocated from Oklahoma and North Texas to California during the Great Depression. It has since died out in its "true" form, but has influenced most modern California accents, especially NorCal.

Dr. Strangelove / int_875615dd	comment	Truth in Television: A 2014 article in The New Yorker by Eric Schlosser confirmed what many had long suspected: that despite the disclaimer placed in front of the movie and the scorn heaped upon its plot by the military establishment at the time, for many decades it was entirely possible for someone other than the US President to launch a nuclear first strike without authorization. The 24-hour B-52 squadrons within 2 hours of their targets inside the USSR? They were part of Operation Chrome Dome. Fears that the Russians are trying to corrupt American institutions through other means, on the other hand, are alive and well on both sides of the aisle (though they'll often disagree on which institutions they're gunning for.) Ripper's paranoia about water fluoridation was based on real conspiracy theories about the effects of fluoridation, some of which persist to this day on both extremes of the political spectrum, minus the "vodka-drinking Russians did it" part. The babbling about a "doomsday gap" and a "mineshaft gap" was a nod to alleged "bomber gap" of the mid-1950s and rhetoric from the 1960 presidential campaign when John F. Kennedy had attacked Nixon and the Eisenhower Administration for allowing the Soviets to open up a "missile gap" between themselves and the United States (in fact, the USA actually had more missiles). This kind of discourse would continue in the seventies with the so-called "Cruiser gap." The fact that Strangelove is obviously a former Nazi isn't far-fetched. The US imported/impressed many German scientists after World War II (as did the Soviets, for that matter), the most famous being Wernher von Braun, who designed the V2 rocket for the Nazis and later turned his talents to designing missiles for the Army and NASA. It was his design team's Saturn rockets that ultimately took humanity to the moon in 1969, and von Braun himself became a minor media celebrity in his own right.

It turns out to be a computer network designed to automatically deploy dozens of super-radioactive nukes at the moment of a nuclear strike on Russia. The upside is that it can respond to nuclear attack without human input, the downside is that it won't respond to the Russians when it wants them to not destroy the world.

Dr. Strangelove / int_9053903	comment	Ignored Epiphany: Both the Americans and the Soviets implemented doomsday schemes which have accidentally resulted in the end of all life on the planet. An emergency plan is quickly conceived to send a few people underground to live in mineshafts for 100 years to prevent the extinction of the human race until the radiation disperses. However, rather than realizing humanity will be lucky if it survives at all, and that it was the geopolitical and ideological competition and paranoia which led to this in the first place, both sides almost immediately begin making plans to "out-breed" the other while they wait underground in the mines, and make plans to stash away weapons for the inevitable war which will occur when they emerge.

Dr. Strangelove / int_916c72b3	type	Rule of Symbolism
Dr. Strangelove / int_916c72b3	comment	Rule of Symbolism: An odd example, the table in the War Room has a green top, like a poker table, implying the leaders are gambling and bluffing with the human race. It doesn't show on screen, as the movie is black and white, but Kubrick insisted on it anyway. The film's rated PG and pretty inoffensive compared to what's in movies today, but still Strangelove has been seen as an allegory of sex "from foreplay to explosion." The film is loaded with sexual imagery and innuendo, mostly phallic symbols and sexually-charged character names. The opening sequence of B-52s being fueled in midair looks a lot like planes having sex, and the background song is "Try a Little Tenderness." Then, of course, there's the famous image of Kong riding the bomb. It's probably no coincidence that the bomb looks an awful lot like a giant penis sticking between Kong's legs. (The airmen have written "Dear John" and "Hi there" on those bombs.) And let's not forget the series of massive explosions that destroy the earth, which, in a certain light, seem about as orgasmic as a thing can be. Maybe the film is trying to show all the Cold War posturing and build up of nuclear arms as a massive case of a penis-measuring contest. The whole thing is about males not feeling sexually potent or virile, and generally trying to prove how tough they are. The scene where Gen. Ripper explains to Mandrake the first time he ever became aware of the "Commies" draining his precious bodily fluids seems to support that idea. It's also probably no coincidence that Ripper is named after Jack the Ripper, the infamous murderer of prostitutes who had some weird sexual proclivities, like, oh, murdering prostitutes for example. Strangelove has a black-gloved arm that he can't control. The black glove belonged to Kubrick, who wore them on the set to protect his hand from the hot lights he was handling. Sellers thought it would be a great prop for Strangelove, and it also reminded him of the black-gloved mad scientist in Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis.

Considering the nature of the ensuing conversation, as well as the entire film itself, that is very, very likely intentional. To be specific, the Americans tried to get the Soviet premier on the hotline, but were unable to reach him. The Soviet ambassador recommended they try a Moscow exchange number, as the premier was apparently out partying "off the books"â€”"the Premier is a man of the people, but he is also a man, if you take my meaning." Also subverted after the air base is successfully capturedâ€”Mandrake tries to use a hotline to SAC to communicate the recall prefix code, but the network (and the phones) have all been shot up or shut down as part of the fighting, meaning Mandrake has to use a pay phone to place a long-distance call to the Pentagon. And they won't even accept the charges for a collect call.

In any case, while (for example) The War Room scenes are obviously satirical, many of those at the air base (and especially the combat sequences) are played dead serious. Then there is the bomber crew on their mission, with their scenes for the most part bombastic (and just slightly over the top) war drama with patriotic music; younger viewers might be reminded of Verhoeven's Starship Troopers in its more restrained sequences. Altogether, it's a weird mixture—though it certainly works.

Oh, Crap! realizations: Under normal circumstances, a commander would be proud of his own units getting to its target against all odds. In this scenario, it means the end of the world as we know it. Gen. Turgidson misses this point for a while, gushing on about the toughness and skill of the surviving B-52 bomber and its crew. Finally, Pres. Muffley cuts in and asks directly (on reaching the target and dropping a bomb, even through the entire Soviet air defense grid), "Has he got a chance?" Turgidson: "Has he got a chance? HELL YE...ye...y..." Turgidson's realization face is priceless. Mandrake puzzling out why there are no emergency broadcasts on the radio and realizing, while talking with Ripper, that Ripper has gone mad and launched the wing on his own initiative.

Dr. Strangelove / int_b3a49cdb	comment	Kubrickâ€™s primary aim in making this movie was to satirize nuclear deterrence theory by demonstrating the inherent craziness of consciously abdicating control over nuclear weapons. Plan R is established to ensure the US has second strike capability even if the President and executive branch are eliminated in a nuclear strike. General Ripper takes this to its extreme conclusion by deciding the President should be denied nuclear authority altogether, and that the military (i.e., General Ripper) should decide when to start a nuclear war. From there, Plan R works perfectly, as the pilots shut off all communication with the US and focus on their targets in the Soviet Union. Likewise, the Doomsday Machine works exactly as planned: automatic and irrevocable nuclear retaliation against the United States following an initial nuclear attack.

SAC's motto "Peace Is Our Profession" is offhandedly highlighted by the camera angle several times: when Ripper explains how he's "preventing" World War III with his first-strike, and later when the soldiers are fighting for the base. Turgidson being both a religious man and, assuming he's married, an adulterer in the same phrase while he is talking to his secretary/mistress. If he's not married, he's just committing a different sin, fornication rather than adultery. When Ambassador DeSadesky gives a number to reach Premier Kissov with an explanation that implies that the Premier is with his mistress rather than at the office, Turgidson calls Kissov "a degenerate atheist commie". The Soviet ambassador not supporting "imperialist stooges." He's quickly called out by the person offering him the object of offense (a Jamaican cigar) when the man says "Only Commie stooges, eh?" Note that the ambassador had asked for a Cuban cigar before being offered the Jamaican cigar.

Major Kong's accent could be a shining example of why a phonetic alphabet is useful. General Ripper uses "R for Robert" when speaking to Mandrake on the phone. The Royal Air Force commonly used a different phonetic alphabet (including R for Robert) until adopting the NATO standard in the late 1950s — shortly before the events of the film. Since Group Captain Mandrake is a former RAF fighter pilot, Ripper may use it for Mandrake's convenience. Or maybe it's only an oversight filmed before someone could do the research. Romeo, being the name of a famous lover, fits better with the film's theme.

Dr. Strangelove / int_d51158ee	comment	Revised Ending: The film famously had an original ending where everyone in the War Room breaks into a pie fight. Stanley Kubrick decided not to end a black comedy with a farce. (Note there are pies on the table in the room.) There was apparently a scene during the pie fight where Muffley takes a pie to the face, after which Turgidson would cry out, "Gentlemen! Our gallant young president has been struck down in his prime!" This was too close to the assassination of JFK for comfort, as the scene had been filmed before the tragedy.

Turgidson notes that the Air Force personnel there are going to be ready to fight and will inflict heavy casualties, but the Army General in charge of the operation disregards this by saying his soldiers can "brush them aside." The audience never really gets a sense of how many people die in the battle on either side, but the Army does eventually take the base, much to Ripper's chagrin.

Dr. Strangelove / int_e4ba33fc	comment	Disaster Dominoes: A very long row of dominoes falls, resulting in the end of the world. Arguably the first domino to fall was the invention of nuclear weapons in the first place. But it carries on from there: 1. The decision of the United States to have nuclear-armed bombers patrolling in constant readiness to launch an immediate nuclear attack on Russia. 2. The conception and implementation of Plan R, giving a lower-echelon commander the potential authority to order a nuclear strike. 3. The failure of the military to successfully screen for mental health issues, allowing an unbalanced individual like General Ripper to reach such a command position. 4. The order to attack being given when the planes were already at their fail-safe points, meaning they will proceed instantly to their targets without requiring a second order to proceed. 5. The planes encrypting their radios, making communication with the planes without a three-letter code (known only to the commander who issued the attack order) impossible. 6. The base commander sealing off his base, making communication with him equally impossible. The Americans then decide to pursue two courses of action: 1. Enter the air base by force and reestablish contact with General Ripper. 2. Inform the Russians of the situation, and try to assist them in shooting down the American bombers. Despite all of this, the worst case scenario would still be "merely" the destruction of Western civilization due to an unintentional nuclear war... if not for the fact that the Russians: 1. Had built a "Doomsday Machine" designed to eliminate all life on Earth if it detects a nuclear attack on Russia. 2. Designed the machine to trigger automatically if any attempt is made to deactivate it. 3. Had activated this machine a few days before declaring its existence to the world. The Russians successfully shoot down four of the bombers by the time the Americans successfully enter the air base and find the encryption code, enabling communication with the remaining bombers and the issuing of the recall command. All bombers turn around except for one: it was not shot down by Russian air defenses, but only damaged, and the damage destroyed its radio equipment, making communication with it impossible (a further domino is that the aircrafts have no "do not bomb if you are incapable of receiving a recall message" regulation). The Americans urge the Russians to concentrate all their air defenses around the bomber's primary and secondary targets. However, unbeknownst to both sides, the damaged aircraft is also losing fuel, and diverts to the nearest target of opportunity. At this final moment, it seems the world may still be saved: the electronics fail and the bomb fails to eject. However, the aircrew manages to repair the system in the nick of time, and the bomb falls on the Russian base and explodes... resulting in the end of the world.

After being informed of the badness of the Doomsday Machine, a world-ending device, Turgidson's first reaction is, "Gee, I wish we had one of them doomsday machines." Also played with by one of the moments shortly afterward, as Turgidson gleefully details the last bomber's chances...then realizes they're screwed if the bomber succeeds. Another Turgidson one comes when Plan R is in danger of causing the end of the world, and he says that the reliability of it (and the psychological screening process given to those who can enable the plan, whose whole purpose is to prevent this situation from ever happening in the first place), shouldn't be written off after a "single slip-up." DeSadesky is going to be trapped with the US officials or left to die in the upcoming radioactive wasteland. He still sneaks photographs of the Big Board after this is a foregone conclusion, even though the photos would be obsolete and he'd die long before he could deliver them anyway — symbolic of the pointlessness of the war, and its probable continuation.

Dr. Strangelove / int_fc225bec	type	Artistic License – Physics
Dr. Strangelove / int_fc225bec	comment	Artistic License â€“ Physics: Major Kong reading the profile for Wing Attack Plan R states that a 30 megaton nuclear device will be used to hit their primary target, while a 20 megaton target can be used to destroy a secondary target. The biggest nuclear weapon in the US arsenal at anytime in history had a yield of 25 Megatons.

Dr. Strangelove / int_fcd9b657	type	Gallows Humor
Dr. Strangelove / int_fcd9b657	comment	Gallows Humor: Given that it was made against the real-life backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis, in which nuclear war was a genuine possibility, much of the film's humor would have qualified at the time. Many contemporary viewers called "Dude, Not Funny!" — to the point that some scenes had to be cut or edited.

Dr. Strangelove / int_fd94c4ac	type	Theme Naming
Dr. Strangelove / int_fd94c4ac	comment	Theme Naming: Almost all of the major characters' names have sexual connotations: The title character is self-explanatory. General Jack Ripper is named after a serial killer who targeted prostitutes. Colonel Mandrake is named after a plant which, in many mythologies, is said to encourage fertility or childbirth. President Merkin Muffley: his first name "merkin" is the term for a pubic wig. "Muff" is a slang term for female genitalia. Ambassador DeSadesky is named after the Marquis de Sade, a French nobleman infamous for his violent and blasphemous sexual fantasies. Soviet Premier Kissoff, whose name evokes "kissing." Major "King" Kong is named after a monster known for its uncontrollable, destructive fascination with a human woman. General Buck Turgidson's first name evokes the thrusting/bucking of intercourse. "Turgid" is a term meaning "swollen" or "firm," usually in reference to an erection. One of the bases the American bomber is targeting is "Laputa." In Spanish, "la puta" means "the whore" or "the bitch."

Dr. Strangelove / int_feaf12e8	comment	Survivor Guilt: President Muffley discusses it paraphrasing Khrushchev; won't "the living envy the dead?" Strangelove easily dismisses the concept.

Dr. Strangelove / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Dr. Strangelove / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: The movie is filled with references to military life and quite obscure research. Also subverted. What the cockpit of a B-52 looked like was classified, so Kubrick and crew just made what a B-29 would look if the plane was shaped like a B-52, based on only one photo of a B-52's cockpit. They were so close to being exactly correct that they were briefly investigated to make sure there was no spying going on! Also, all the procedures inside the aircraft (e.g. going through the checklists) are absolutely believable. Also, the combat scenes could easily pass as actual war footage, with the exception of Gen. Ripper hip-firing a M1919 machine gun (but then again, he is crazy).
